You may need to restart the agent.
Can you also tell me what the OS/Version is?

Starting with 0.4.11, the packaged agent uses /run/digitalocean via systemd for the update path. I'm working on opensourcing the packaging so that should help.

In the meantime, you can run:
curl -sSL https://agent.digitalocean.com/install.sh | sh which will update the agent and include the updated startup script.

Same error on 0.5.1-1.
I am using CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611

Oct 5 05:34:14 stage do-agent[675]: 2017/10/05 05:34:14 Unable to update do-agent: Update: Unable to create repository file: /run/digitalocean-agent/tufLocalStore
Oct 5 06:01:01 stage systemd: Created slice user-0.slice.

Digital Ocean server went down after hitting these alerts continuously.

I finally removed nobody User & Group within the systemd .service file.

I no longer have this issue:

Unable to create repository file: /var/opt/digitalocean/do-agent/tufLocalStore

With:

[Unit]
Description=DigitalOcean agent
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/do-agent
